Dusty lived down the street from me in Sunset Hills. We played all over the neighborhood in our younger years. He was a friend and really good guy. I am glad he had a good life and family.

I was sorry to read about Dusty Johnston, but it sounds like he had a full and meaningful life. We hung out together in school, and he always seemed to be the free spirit. My condolences to his family.
